This inventor’s workshop building by Pieter Dennison has a wonderful “realistic steampunk” feel. There are enough quirky and clanky touches on display to inject a touch of the fantastic, but it’s all grounded in a grubby Victorian-era earthiness — the dark tones of the base, the subtle patches of faded colour set into the walls, the haphazard tiling on the roof. There’s a nice sense of activity and everyday life amongst the surrounding figures, but the winning detail for me is the wonky telescope poking out from the attic.

Who said mechs can’t be elegant and graceful and killing at the same time? I bet this wonderfully looking build by Anthony Wilson can teach many other ugly gray machines a lesson of elegance and charm – while hitting its enemies as efficiently as a dozen of barrel guns can do. Make sure to take a closer look at the wings; they might look simple, but their design is a very smart combination of bars and cones in pearl gold. And have you noticed nearly 30 pink minifigure cups used for decorating of the wings? The post Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

It’s been two weeks since Avengers: Infinity War was released in theaters and if you’re a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe like me, you’ve probably seen the movie already, maybe more than once. I’ve been asked a few times to compare the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets to the movie and that’s what I’ll do in this new series I’m starting on this site simply called Movie to Set Comparison. As we know by now, LEGO usually releases sets depicting scenes for a particular movie and sometimes they aren’t that accurate due to them having only a little bit of source material to go by. What I’ll be doing is watching a certain movie and comparing the sets to see how accurate they are to the film. What better beginning to this series than to compare the LEGO sets to the record-setting Avengers: Infinity War. There are...

Today is the last day for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotions at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. The main promo here are the double VIP points you get for your purchases, minus the Y-Wing (75181).

Also if you’re a Black VIP card holder, don’t forget to claim your unique code for the Y-Wing Blueprint Poster when you make your purchase.

May the 4th has passed and the set that was released was the LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) and not the rumored Cloud City set but there are some new details of the set coming out of Eurobricks recently. User Paperballpark, who is considered a reliable source of info, has revealed that there is a Cloud City (75222) set coming, most likely in the fall, and it’s a playset similar to the Death Star (75159). They mention that if you “chop the bottom off the Death Star, then add a few platforms and a ship or two,” it’ll be what we could expect in the set. The ships are rumored to be a medium-sized Slave I and a Twin-Pod Cloud Car. As for the play details, it’ll be open like the Death Star and I assume it’ll have different rooms with scenes from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire...
